That you did Chris, did a nice Job too.

The upgrade didn't go as smooth. The new motor kept pushing gaskets under boost, and had issues with overheating. Got tired of hearing .."we found the problem" , and carried it to LMR.

Put it on the dyno, and it was making 18lbs of boost, and tuned so fat it was pegging the widebands, and didn't make anymore power than the initial setup you did. The guys at LMR went through the whole setup, and addressed several issues. Ultimately pulleyed it to bring the boost down to 10-12 lbs, corrected the tune bringing the A/F ratio to a safe but reasonable level..and the car made alot more power!

Good to have the car where I can enjoy it again!
